This week just gone we went down to CHCH for further tuning of Katya's implants. The tuning has made a big difference. Last time the tuning on the right hand side was too rough for her and she started disliking the processors being put on. With the right side tuned better she is getting back to asking for her processors to be attached. She does not even blink now when they are put on.
We have also observed something very cool. She has started turning to me when I call her by her nick name. This is pretty cool.
Another cool thing that has happened recently is that she has started to localise sounds when she has both processors on. The other day she was fixated on the sound of a cicada. She couldn't see it but she knew it was there.
One more little thing... she is now taking a great interest in her processors and wants to put them in their drier at night and put them together in the mornings. She is also pressing the button to turn them on.
So baby steps but very encouraging.
